    Syria Is 7th (Muslim) Country Bombed By 2009 Nobel Peace Prize Winner

    Syria Is 7th (Muslim) Country Bombed By 2009 Nobel Peace Prize Winner

    Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/23/2014 12:17 -0400

    Authored by Glenn Greenwald, originally posted at The Intercept,

    The U.S. today began bombing targets inside Syria
    , in concert with its lovely and inspiring group of five allied regimes: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Jordan.
    That means that Syria becomes the 7th predominantly Muslim country bombed by the 2009 Nobel Peace Laureate – after Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya and Iraq.
    The utter lack of interest in what possible legal authority Obama has to bomb Syria is telling indeed: empires bomb who they want, when they want, for whatever reason (indeed, recall that Obama bombed Libya even after Congress explicitly voted against authorization to use force, and very few people seemed to mind that abject act of lawlessness; constitutional constraints are not for warriors and emperors).
    It was just over a year ago that Obama officials were insisting that bombing and attacking Assad was a moral and strategic imperative. Instead, Obama is now bombing Assad’s enemies while politely informing his regime of its targets in advance. It seems irrelevant on whom the U.S. wages war; what matters it that it be at war, always and forever.
    Six weeks of bombing hasn’t budged ISIS in Iraq, but it has caused ISIS recruitment to soar. That’s all predictable: the U.S. has known for years that what fuels and strengthens anti-American sentiment (and thus anti-American extremism) is exactly what they keep doing: aggression in that region. If you know that, then they know that. At this point, it’s more rational to say they do all of this not despite triggering those outcomes, but because of it. Continuously creating and strengthening enemies is a feature, not a bug, as it is what then justifies the ongoing greasing of the profitable and power-vesting machine of Endless War.
    If there is anyone who actually believes that the point of all of this is a moral crusade to vanquish the evil-doers of ISIS (as the U.S. fights alongside its close Saudi friends), please read Professor As’ad AbuKhalil’s explanation today of how Syria is a multi-tiered proxy war. As the disastrous Libya “intervention” should conclusively and permanently demonstrate, the U.S. does not bomb countries for humanitarian objectives. Humanitarianism is the pretense, not the purpose.

    In Case You Lost Count, This Map Shows the Countries Our Peace-Prize Winning President Has Bombed

    Barack Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize less than nine months after he was sworn in as President.
    The statement issued by the organization clearly identified the award as based upon anticipated events, as opposed to historical ones. In other words, he received the prize for his words, not his actions.
    A part of the statement:
    The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.
    CNN published an editorial today, clearly showing how that has worked out, starting with this map that shows the countries that the President has been bombed:



    Since he became President, the Nobel Peace Prize winner has directed invasions into 7 countries:

    1. Afghanistan: Much criticized by the Afghani local government, Obama continued George W. Bush’s use of bombing, via aircraft and drones, of targets.
    2. Pakistan: Drone attacks have continued here as well.
    3. Libya: The U.S. bombed Libya in March 2011. The situation has certainly not improved, as evidenced in part by the U.S. Embassy killings in 2012 and the evacuation of all American staff two months ago.
    4. Yemen: Since Obama took office, almost 100 drone attacks have occurred there.
    5. Somalia: American drones have attacked and killed terrorists throughout the country.
    6. Iraq: Renewed bombings began in Iraq last month, following George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush in attacking terrorists there.
    7. Syria: U.S. recently launched air strikes in Syria, despite the red line being drawn by the President over Bashar al-Assad’s use of chemical weapons over a year ago.



    To be clear: This is not to say that these bombings should not have occurred or that the targeted terrorists didn’t deserve killing.
    But the Nobel award language, which promotes a vision of “dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts,” has run headlong into the reality of a world populated by countries not willing to have peaceful “dialogue and negotiations.”
